COUNTRY music legend Garth Brooks is boasting a thick, new dark mop — and fans and experts say he’s getting transplants and hair plugs! Garth’s lush look became apparent when he doffed his hat to wail an inspiring rendition of Amazing Grace at President Joe Biden’s inauguration Jan. 20, creating an internet tizzy. “My biggest takeaway from the inauguration was that Garth Brooks got new hair,” a fan tweeted, with another chiming in, “Someone has to say it.

BIBLE-BELTING Kanye West’s bitter split with estranged wife Kim Kardashian has turned him into a pouting recluse determined to shut out the cruel world, sources say. The heart-crushed 43-year-old rap mogul is “cutting himself off from the outside world” after the big-bootied 40-year-old reality babe hired a lawyer to dissolve their six-year marriage, dishes a spy. While he has traveled to L.A., Kanye spends more of his time sitting hunkered down “in the den at his Wyoming ranch listening to music, writing poems, eating bad food and generally feeling sorry for himself,” says the source, who insists the selfmade preacher “can’t seem to process that Kim’s ready to serve him papers and move on with her life. “There’s still a big part of him that thinks she’ll come crawling back…

OSCAR-WINNING Precious star Gabourey Sidibe lost half her 300 pounds thanks to laparoscopic tummy-tie surgery, but before, the tormented fifive-foot-fifive actress battled bulimia and was nearly driven over the edge by a demonic dark funk. The 37-year-old describes her depression as a “monster” that made her goal just “surviving” each day. “It was about controlling this emotion that was uncontrollable,” she says. “I hated this emotion so much.” She says eating became her way of coping with the depression, but that led to bulimia.

LUKE BRYAN’S pandemic pig-outs have taken the singer from country hunk to pudgy chunk — and now the hefty hitmaker could stand to lose his lockdown pounds, insiders dish. Lazy Luke’s lack of exercise and lousy diet are to blame for his ballooning belly, sources tell GLOBE. “He’s gained 40 pounds and a double chin! His doughboy looks are a far cry from the handsome cutout he made just a few years ago,” spills an insider. “Luke’s not doing himself any favors with questionable lifestyle habits — like stuffing his face with junk food during NFL games and late night snacking.” To make matters worse, the source says the sixfoot Country Girl singer, 44, “doesn’t exercise much, if at all,” and adds, “Climbing the stairs is enough cardio — and…

PRINCE HARRY and his high-maintenance wife, Meghan, are set to be stripped of the royal titles they’re using to rake in big bucks by a furious Queen Elizabeth, predict royal insiders. The spoiled pair are scheduled to meet with the 94-year-old monarch in March — COVID-19 permitting — about their titles “prince” and “duchess,” which they’ve used to spin cash after leaving England for America. To date, the royal renegades have landed a $40-millionplus Netflix deal, a Spotify podcast series and other scores.

MANY survivors of COVID-19 are left with ravaged lungs scarred worse than those of heavy smokers, experts warn. “Everyone’s just so worried about the mortality thing,” says Texas trauma surgeon Dr. Brittany Bankhead-Kendall, who’s treated thousands of pandemic patients. “But, man, for all the survivors and the people who have tested positive, it’s going to be a problem.” Bankhead-Kendall says X-rays revealed patients with symptoms of coronavirus had severely damaged lungs. While healthy lungs display substantial black imaging, she says COVID survivors’ X-rays are covered in white lines — signaling scarring and congestion far worse than that of tobacco smokers. “You’ll either see a lot of that white, dense scarring, or you’ll see it throughout the entire lung. Even if you’re not feeling problems now, the fact that that’s on…

TWO hero pups saved a ten-year-old Virginia boy from a burning house — right before the courageous canines perished during their incredible rescue! Firefighters say the kid, whose name is being withheld due to his age, was asleep alone in the house — oblivious to the raging inferno — when the brindle pit bulls jumped on his chest to wake him. The quick-thinking boy escaped by climbing through his bedroom window, since flames and smoke blocked the other exits — but the dogs, sadly, were trapped! “Both pups died heroes,” says Dinwiddie Fire Chief Dennis Hale. The child ran for help to the house across the street, where neighbor Ray Dawson found him covered in soot. “We got to the door and he said, ‘My house is on fire.’ I could…
